This Week In Fandom History

Author: V. Arrow, Emily Jaye

Co-hosted by V @aimmyarrowshigh (I Met You On LJ) and Emily @idontgettechnology (I Ship It), This Week In Fandom History celebrates fandom culture's highest highs and weirdest lows. With which short-lived vampire cop drama was the very first X-Files fic crossed over? Who is Tara Gilesbie? How recently did the Starsky & Hutch Lending Library rent out its last zine? What were Strikethrough, Racefail, LGBTFansDeserveBetter, and Conchobar, anyway? V and Emily trade off some deep-internet research each week to learn and laugh (and sometimes rage) their way through the annals (heh) of fandom history. Come join us!

CONstruction || Episode #001: Eleven Months Out
Episode 1
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026

Welcome to a brand-new TWIFH special miniseries podcast! We're calling it "CONstruction: How to Throw A Fan Convention." Each month, V will catch up with John @jarrow, the logistics guy with all the spreadsheets and contracts for TGI Femslash, about, well, how to throw a successful fan convention. If you've ever thought, "It sure would be fun to spend the weekend with other people talking about my blorbo" but didn't know where to start, John has the knowledge and is willing to share it. This month, we're 11 months away from the next TGI Femslash in-person con, and V wants to start from the beginning: how do you know whether your idea for a fan con is even a good idea? How do you build a community? And it costs HOW much to feed people?! If you have any questions for John about TGI Femslash or about the logistics behind planning a convention, you can send them to him via the TWIFH inbox on our Tumblr!
